The Millennium Concours at the DMCH open house this year was the first one organized by the new team, and we expect to take a lot of our learnings into the next event at DCS'06. Thanks to Ken for inviting us to organize a competition at DCS'06. Although you can sign up for the concours directly on Ken's DCS registration page, as Dave suggests please also let Marty know so we can do a good job of coordinating with the participants and keeping everyone well informed of event details. Entering a car for competition is a whooping $15 (the same as for entering a car in the people's choice categories). In order to give the organizing team a chance to plan well, I encourage folks to register for concours competition early. We'll strive to accommodate everyone that is interested, but in the event we have more people interested than is feasible to manage, competitors will be handled on a first-registered basis. I look forward to another fun competition at the DCS event. With Ken having his hands full with the show, I suspect he won't be in the competition, so that should leave the #2 standing up for grabs ;-) Knut --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxx> wrote: > > Hi all - I'm starting to get the Millennium Concours organized for > the 2006 DeLorean Car Show in Chicago (Pheasant Run).
